The Octane
Free · Beta

Stock, shifts, tips and reservations — under control.

Stop juggling spreadsheets. The Octane keeps your stock accurate, plans the team's shifts, and splits tips fairly by the hours worked — one back office for the whole restaurant. Free while in Beta.

Four principles.

  • Always accurate

    Stock never changes by hand. Every product moves through a logged reason — sale, receipt, breakage, spoilage, tasting or correction — so the count always reconciles.

  • Plan the team's shifts

    Build the month's rota against your opening hours and the coverage each service needs, then confirm the hours actually worked. Target-versus-worked is always in view.

  • Split tips fairly

    Pool the cash and divide it by the hours each person worked — weights and manual overrides included — reconciled to the last 5 rappen, then frozen as a record.

  • Your data, your team

    Multiple restaurants, roles per person, exportable data, no lock-in. Built entirely on our own COSS interface.

Why teams switch from the spreadsheet.

The Octane is purpose-built for restaurants — inventory, shifts and tips — not a generic sheet you have to babysit.

Figures describe how The Octane works, not a market study. The Octane is in Beta; features evolve.

A day with The Octane.

The rhythm of an accurate cellar.

  1. Morning

    Check alerts

    Open the dashboard: what is low, what is out, what is forecast to run out.

  2. Delivery

    Receive an order

    Mark a purchase order received; stock goes up via receipt movements.

  3. Service

    Register the unexpected

    A broken product or a tasting pour — log it with a reason in seconds.

  4. Close

    End the day

    Enter what sold, confirm, and let stock and alerts update themselves.

What you can do today.

Build your catalog with photos and reorder thresholds. Run a fast daily close that deducts stock. Register breakage, spoilage and counts. Get reorder suggestions and create purchase orders. Plan the month's staff shifts against opening hours and coverage, confirm the real hours worked, and split the tip pool by those hours. Plan deliveries on the calendar, read low-stock and forecast alerts, and follow a KPI dashboard. All free while in Beta.

What The Octane isn't.

We kept the scope tight on purpose.

  • Not a POS

    The Octane doesn't take payments or run the till. You enter the day's sales; it keeps the stock.

  • Not an importer

    No CSV or POS sync yet — sales are entered manually, fast.

  • No external AI

    Reorder, forecasting and anomaly detection are deterministic and run server-side. No data leaves to an AI service.

  • Not by the glass

    The unit is set per product: each, weight (kg/g) or volume.

  • No billing

    There is nothing to pay. The Octane is free while in Beta.

  • Not locked in

    Export your data whenever you want.
